Cracker Barrel - Our Favourite Eating Place in Florida

Dunedin, Florida

My spouse and I are retired people and we enjoy travelling.

Brisket served with salad & sweet potatoes

As retired baby bloomers we are health conscious and are careful about what we eat.


While we were travelling in Florida recently, we ate out in restaurants every day

Grilled cheese sandwich & house salad at CB restaurant

We tried hard to have balanced and nutritious meals daily on our vacation by eating a lot of salads and vegetables while avoiding too much red meat and deep fried food.

Cracker Barrel Restaurant, Port Richey, Florida

We were glad that we found our favourite restaurant - Cracker Barre in Port Richey, Florida.

We like the old fashion decorations at CB

Having eaten our meals at CB a few times on our previous travels, we knew exactly what to expect from this great restaurant.

We love the warm and welcoming ambiance at Cracker Barrel restaurants.

We love the decorations in this eating venue.

Every Cracker Barrel is decorated pretty well the same. The restaurant has a welcoming and warm ambiance with a huge fireplace and many old fashion items hanging on its walls.

We also knew  that we would have a good selection of  healthy dishes from their menus at  very reasonable prices.

Besides providing customers an excellent place to eat, each Cracker Barrel also has a store selling old fashion merchandise.

For example, I haven't seen this old fashion refrigerator since I was a little child more than half of a century ago!

We saw this antique cooler at the CB store with  the Coca -Cola logo on it.  This brought back many happy memories from our childhood.

Other old fashion items at the store included rocking chairs and timeless games and toys.

We loved the relaxing old time atmosphere at Cracker Barrel so much that we ate most of meals  there while we vacationed in Florida.

Enjoying a game of chess on the patio of  CB

One afternoon after our meal, S. and our friend sat in the rocking chairs on the patio of the CB restaurant and enjoyed a game of chess.

I was surprised at how long they spent time playing the chess game together and were having a good time!

We enjoyed our meals at CB and introduced our friend to our favourite restaurant in the U.S. as well!

He loved it!
